General CommentI originally thought it was a lullaby too, until I listened to the lyrics more closely. After the part where it says "Ich brenne fÃ¼r dich...Ich trÃ¤ume fÃ¼r dich...Ich liebe nur fÃ¼r dich" ("I burn for you...I dream for you...I love only for you") it's followed up with "Bis mein Stein bei dir liegt" ("until my stone lies next to you")

Taking that along with some of the other lines, including "Ein letzter Schrei, Nun schlaf recht schÃ¶n" ("a last scream, now sleep beautifully"), the references to winter, the storm being past, and the child being "free", I have to say it's a parent singing to their dead child. It's an incredibly sad song.
